“Don’t worry, Airpaw!” Firepaw meowed reassuringly. “It’s not as scary as you think it is.”
“I just-” Airpaw hesitated, ears flicking backwards. “What if I fall in a river like Creekkit- err, Creekpaw did? Or- or- we get attacked, or I do something mouse-brained?”
“That won’t happen,” Firepaw promised. “I’ll be there to catch you- and Bluefur and Thrushpelt too! And if you do anything dumb- well then I’ll do something dumber!”
Airpaw smiled at him, then nodded. He straightened his posture, although he still fidgeted his paws. “Right! I’m- I’m gonna be a big strong warrior, and big strong warriors aren’t afraid of anything. Not the dark, and not some river!”
Chapter 13: Firepaw and Airpaw Take A Hike (With Their Mentors. Who Are Technically Ex’s)
this is by far my favorite Firepaw-Airpaw interaction 🥺
